Ronaldo starts as Ten Hag makes 7 changes | Expected Man Utd line-up vs Real Sociedad
Man United's expected lineup against. Real Sociedad, with Ronaldo starting'
Manchester United play Real Sociedad in their Europa League group stage opening on Thursday at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils started the Premier League season with two defeats, but have subsequently won four consecutive games.
The squad’s confidence should be strong ahead of the Sociedad match, and United should be the favorite to win again.
Man United are set to line up as follows against Sociedad:
David de Gea has been a constant in goal for Manchester United this season. Since his double howler in the 4-0 loss at Brentford, he has been consistent in his efforts. We believe the Spaniard will continue in goal ahead of loan signing Martin Dubravka.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka was left out of the matchday squad against Arsenal due to a knock. Diogo Dalot will almost certainly continue at right-back. The remainder of the backline could be affected.
Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez could be replaced in central defense by Victor Lindelof and Harry Maguire. Luke Shaw is expected to start ahead of Tyrell Malacia, the Premier League’s regular left-back.
Scott McTominay and Christian Eriksen could be rested in midfield. Casemiro is likely to make his complete United debut, maybe alongside compatriot Fred. The combination has performed admirably for the Brazilian national team.
Attack: Antony is expected to make his European debut for United on the right wing, after being substituted before the hour mark against Arsenal after scoring his first goal.
Bruno Fernandes has generally played in all competitions for Manchester United, and we wouldn’t be shocked if he remains in the number 10 role. Donny van de Beek appears to be hurt.
Ten Hag might rest Jadon Sancho and put Anthony Elanga on the left wing instead. Cristiano Ronaldo appears set to start ahead of Marcus Rashford, who could be injured.
With two goals and one assist against the Gunners, the England international was withdrawn before the final whistle due to tightness in his right hamstring.
